In todays episode I fire up the log stove, get the shed warm and toasty. Preparing myself for a cold day. The paths in the garden were barked. Mulched and the no dig raised beds are growing so well with winter onions and garlic. The first Tunnels hoops and netting was removed in preparation for possible snow. The polytunnel was full of sacks of bark collected from chipped trees. The surrounding trees of the allotment site. New paths were created, changing the design and style of the garden completely. The stray raspberry canes were all dug out. A new apple tree I purchased from Primrose arrived. I’d discovered a beautiful tasty, juicy red apple with a deep red/ pink interior too! The apple tree is called “Tickled Pink”. Highly recommend! An old apple tree was dug out as it was sadly chopped in half by the previous owner. The guttering was fitted to the shed to ensure water collection was completed into a water butt. I discuss how to design the surrounding areas of the garden with perennial plants and food. Kale, Trees cabbages, artichokes and fruit bushes. Plants that can look after itself with some care. The temperature and weather is finally changing. Winter is upon us. Here comes the snow!

Wow, very productive days at the plot!! Looking great, so tidy! Endless possibilities ahead!! ❤
Well packed video Danny thumbs up loved it
Don't worry I've had about a tonne of the chippings too, done sooooo many trips 🤣
it's amazing how many people think they can't do a job without power tools. nothing wrong with the old ways……………..brian
Aaaaargh – you're so right about the compost bays – ours are tucked away right at the back of the plot which makes them really inconvenient! Plenty of plans to be getting on with there though, imagine how it's going to look in the summer – gorgeous! Well done young Danny!
Hi danny
Great update mate.
what a difference wood chipping make.
👍👍👍👍👍
Putting in lots of hard work setting up the infrastructure of your plots is paying off Danny. Wide walkways make such a difference in a garden. Room to move around and enjoy the fruits (& vegs 😀) of your labor! I've never heard of that apple, but it looks amazing.
Taking a break from spending the afternoon raking and collecting leaves before tomorrow's windstorm, but gotta get back to work now. Have a great week!
Looking fab! 🌏💙💚🤎🍃🌿🌱🪱
Good job Danny, the paths really now define the plot. I will be doing the same on my plot once I have clarified where all my beds are going.
Great job done Danny , your flying now lol 👍
The bark paths make a huge difference Danny……and I think that fruit garden area will look great! 💪🏼😁.Will 🌻
Wow Danny, can't wait to see the new Allotment grow over the seasons❤
Hi Danny don't over fertilize the tree holes, you want to encourage the roots out. If you fertilize too much they want to stay in the hole, filling back with the contents of the hole is good enough. Digging a square hole can also help in heavy soil, the roots hit the corner's and grow out rather than round and round in a circular hole. Wood chips will help create a fungal network too, nice 1!👍💚🙏😊
I’m going to buy a small chipper shredder in the spring for twigs, leaves, dried garden debris. It won’t do large limbs but it will turn things into usable mulch and compostable material. Another great video, Danny. Love your enthusiasm! Toque or no toque! 😉😉❗️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦❤️
Well done Danny, you are doing super work, fairplay to you. I love bark mulch, it breaks down over time,and can dig your paths to add to your beds,and re mulch, great recycling. Love that shed, what a great addition. I've been sick, so no work done,going into my fourth week,more meds. Thanks for a great cheery video.
🤗🇨🇦You will get those light pants muddy. Lol🎄
Its really taking shape can't wait to see it all planted upxx
It's all coming together, those pathways look fantastic 😁 🌱 x
Wow – you have a lot of cameras!
Wonderful progress and I cannot wait to see it all blooming in the beds. Lovely.
Wow! Hope your apple tree does well, would love to see the fruit ☺️
Hi Danny, wow you got so much done! Getting jobs ticked off is the best 👌 have a great week!
